Synopsis
[edit]Having captured SARA, Deadlock uses her ability to open dimension gates to flee into the Legends World (or the "EX-LG Spacetime"). None of the locals recognize him aside from Waspinator, who explains that he's from Transformers Cloud, a web series about Transformers from Cloud World who manage the many parallel universes that make up the franchise. Wondering how Waspinator could know about them, Deadlock realizes that Transformers are fictional in the "LG Spacetimes", which means that, from here, he can gather information about all universes! He visits a web café to research Transformers media, and is surprised to find that the Autobots and Decepticons in other worlds look and act almost identical to their Cloud World counterparts.
Suddenly, the Zamojin take control of SARA's body and tell Deadlock that he and his people are not the original Transformers, but copies based on Transformers from many other universes. They explain that Cloud World would not exist if not for the "original worlds", and that this is the real reason the Cloud Transformers need to gather energy from other dimensions. However, the Zamojin disapprove of mere copies managing all of spacetime and seek to take control of it themselves through SARA, whom they enlarge to a monstrous size. Deadlock is angered by the implication that he's anything like the "original" Deadlock, who became an Autobot, defiantly declaring that he's his own person and makes his own decisions. He's then approached by a mysterious figure, who advises him to use his control of SARA's powers to unleash all her energy and open a giant dimension gate back to Cloud World. As Deadlock does so, stopping the Zamojin plot, the figure introduces himself as the Multidimensional Investigator Skids and warns him to stop causing disorder between dimensions.
In Cloud World, the Autobots chase off Deadlock and reclaim the burnt-out SARA, and are confused to find Rattrap, Waspinator, and other Legends natives who were dragged along for the ride. SARA promises to return them after she's recovered.
